This is my first time writing a macro as well as my first time posting on
here so I hope I am doing this right. I have these large spreadsheets with a column of sales codes. From the query I ran, the sales code column contains strings of sales codes that I would like to break out into individual columns. This is what the data looks like now: Sales Codes 1AA 1AA, WFG, XPD 1AA, WFG, XPC 1AB And this would be what I would like to go to... Sales Codes 1AA WFG XPD XPC 1AB 1AA 1AA 1AA, WFG, XPD 1AA WFG XPD 1AA, WFG, XPC 1AA WFG XPC 1AB 1AB The macro would start with row 2, and look at the sales codes in the sales code column and create columns for each of the sales codes it finds in the sales code column. If it finds a sales code that already has a column created for it, it will just copy that sales code into that column. I feel like I could write the pseudocode for this, but I am not familiar with the syntax. This is what I would say the code would look like: While( salescode_column_cell(i) != null, i = 1, i++) if(salescode_column_cell(i) != null) take string of sales codes and get each 3 letter code create columns for each unique sales code and put sales code in that column and row for sales codes with columns already created, put sales code in that row/column Okay, maybe I don't remember how to write pseudocode that well either. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! -Kenneth |
